Hey boys and girls - I know there are a lot of new students in town tonight. So I want to welcome all you crazy expat students to Montpellier France.
I hope that at some point between drinking, dancing and drugging you get time to study this year. (It's true, I once knew a student in this town who learned French. I felt like buying him an "I Am Legend" T-shirt.)
But, assuming you are like most of the English, American, Irish and Aussie students who turn up in Montpellier every September to hit the three Ds far away from your parents and peers back home, I figured I might as well throw you a tip - Monday night is half price all night happy hour at the Vert Anglais in Centre Ville Montpellier each and every week.
Starting at 6 p.m. you can turn up and drink beer for much less than anywhere else and keep drinking until 2 a.m. if you've got the stamina.
The bar is just behind Virgin Records and has a large green awning.
It's where almost all the English speakers in town drink and is also good if you have any questions about French culture, opening a bank account, looking for room mates or trying to get laid.
A brief note to the American student girls looking to hook up in Montpellier: EU guys have foreskin.
Every fall at least two or three girls end up in the bar complaining when they discover that EU cocks don't look like the other cocks they have encountered in their lives.
Some girls don't care either way. Some like the extra bit of skin, but there are always a few who think it looks or smells nasty.
So, my advice for you is to drink a little bit more than usual before you see the skin of your first EU hookup - so you'll have the courage to confront that extra inch in a pinch!
Also girls, during your first few weeks here your gaydar will probably be set off a lot - and then you'll be surprised when the guy hits on you anyway.
That's because straight French men look dress and act like gay American guys, so don't be fooled. Just because he has nice clean clothes, uses moisturizer, dances with other guys and prances instead of walks doesn't make him gay - it makes him Euro!
So welcome to Montpellier France new students!
We can't wait to meet you!
